Obama Tosses Football Back to Romney: "That's a Losing Season."

[K Gardner]

Before heading to Louisiana tonight, President Obama stopped in Toledo, Ohio and gave his own response to Romney's sport's analogy of 'needing another coach'.

“I’ve got one piece of advice for you about the Romney-Ryan game plan: Punt it away. It won’t work. It won’t win the game,” Obama said in Toledo. “You don’t need that coach. That’s a losing season.”

Turning to Romney’s weekend football metaphor, Obama offered a lengthy sports-infused rebuttal, telling the union workers that on first down, Romney would hike taxes by nearly $2,000 on an average family with children. “Sounds like unnecessary roughness to me,” Obama said.

On second down, Obama said Romney “calls an audible” and gets rid of regulations. “And then on third down, he calls for a ‘Hail Mary,’” Obama said, by proposing turning Medicare into a voucher-like system for future retirees. “But there’s a flag on the play: Loss of up to an additional $6,400 a year for the same benefits you get now.”

“That’s their playbook. That’s their economic plan,” Obama said.

1. The Visual Difference: Tampa versus Charlotte, are already stunning..

Look at the crowds behind Matthews and the other commentators. You can't even hear over the roar. There is no spot of daylight in the crowds.

In Tampa, there were people wandering about here and there, but when Matthews went out to interview, they were all Democrats with a few Ron Paul supporters. This is going to be a BLOWOUT and the visuals will tell the story. The comparison will be stunning.. and the GOP will NOT be able to upset Obama's ratings or interrupt media coverage post-convention by announcing his "surprise" VP pick this year, as McCain did last year with Palin.

With Romney out on his yacht, I'm predicting a HUGE bump for the Obama camp.
